I didnt know they made a hp2 sportbike. I know about the hp2 enduro.I was eying on the new BMW HP2 Sportbike. But I think it might be out of my price range.
Hi bo glad you made it here. Yes I do have a r1, its a 98 and has way to much power for what I do. I have been actually thinking about going to 600cc bike. I cant imagine what the new liter bikes are like. As far as i'm concerned the liter bikes make way to much power for any rider. I have been in corners and had the back wheel spin, cross the yellow lines in the road under acceleration and it spins. Now this is a 98 which makes about 130 at the wheel, the new ones make 150-160 at the wheel (holy hell). Theres actually a article on the net that talks about liter bikes making guys slower on the track because they can't and are afraid to use the power. I have'nt heard of the b king, aka (burger king) LOL JK. Post some info up on it.Hey Poorwboy!
Heard from Dennis that you have an R1. Sweet ride. As for next year, I'm not sure whether to go R1 or Suzuki B-King (pipe dream right now, need money first).
I have always loved the R1 but the B-King really reminds me of an updated version of the Suzuki GS-1150E I had back in '85.
I've never been a big 'Busa fan but I really like what Suzuki has done to make the B-King bike more of a "standard" style. Really don't like the the name B-King though; I can hear the "Burger King" comments already. I think GS 1340E would've been better, but that's probably just my nostalgia chiming in.
As for the R1, I am amazed at how comfortable it is to sit on; I haven't ridden one yet. Much less pressure on the wrists and back than the R6 (which I have ridden) or the CBRs.
I guess I'll let the reviewers write what they write when the bikes are reviewed and start to form an opinion from there. Regardless, the technology that has been built into the R1 is amazing; unimagineable back in the
mid-80's when I thought an overdrive indicator light was "the heat", or did we say "rad" back then?.

Yes it does I cant believe how good that bike looks now.I am buying an 08 250 ninja for my Girlfriend come spring. Does that count?:thumbup:

Yes I do agree the nose fairing sticks out way to far on the buell. But it is a awesome bike.I'd love to ride a 1125R too, BUT It looks like all the other Buells. Which isn't a bad thing. I would of figured they would have changed it up a bit in the looks department. Plus the $12,000 price tag... You can buy a ZX-14 and have almost a grand left over. Which BTW is a bike I'd love to add to my collection. I also like the FZ1, R1 etc. etc. If I only had the money... There is even talk about a new V-Rod. The VRSCFA. I'd also like one of them Screamin' Eagle VR's... But if I had to choose only one... I'd have to say the FZ1.:thumbup:
I know these are not 08's, I couldn't find any good pics so 07's will have to do.
#1 choice
#2... I'd probably kill myself on this but love it non the less!!
I LOVE V-RODs! Thats why I own a B... So what if people call em' chick bikes.
It just has a weird look to it. I liked it more when I first saw it. But now I'm not so sure...
I've actually been looking at cbr600, That is a bad bike.My next bike ... Including colour... Just need the money now :banghead:
But I still love this
I didnt know they made a hp2 sportbike. I know about the hp2 enduro.
Wow That thing is bad a$$. How much.Nothing better than German engineering. 1200cc, 140 hp.
